Thanks to Walter Gross (wally@halfhalt),
Joseph B. Gurman (gurman@uvsp.gsfc.nasa.gov), and
thompson@orpheus.nascom.nasa.gov (William Thompson) for responding. However,
using
IDL> device,bits=8,/color
makes no difference. Bill, all I meant by the second part is that I've tried
a color postscript printer, ghostview, xpsview, and grepping the idl.ps
file directly. The information just isn't there. In this particular case,
I wasn't trying to get a fancy image with false colors, but I would like to
do that in the future. I'm really not interested in storing an image and
converting it to PS, but I could, I guess.
thanx
